On The Job Hunt
The fun part about being on a job hunt and putting your resume out there is the responses you get back from headhunters who scour Monster, DICE, etc. looking for anyone and everyone with a single keyword match to their open position. I particularly have enjoyed the offers for interviews in Kentucky, Ohio, Maine, and California. Did I mention I’m in NJ?
Here’s the latest one, which teaches us all a lesson: As a computer programmer, never mention that you worked for a pharmaceutical company explicitly in your resume. [Emphasis mine.]

At least the job offer is relatively local! I’m tempted to write back to see when they can schedule me for an interview, and that I particularly enjoy pushing five migs of meds into patients, cross-matching their blood, and wearing rubber gloves.

I made the mistake of posting my resume’ and e-mail addy online at a certain online job hunting site *cough cough* Career Builder and now every day practically I get the same bogus job offer from various scam companies.

Yeah, I have recently gone through that. Those emails annoy the heck out of me. Thank goodness I just got a new job (start May 7th!) so I could remove myself from those sites! Not that that will get rid of my email on the junk lists.
